Reviewing The Concept 2 Rower
People from all walks of life first became aware of Concept 2 rower exercise machines three decades ago. They are made and shipped from Vermont, and the company created this rowing equipment just because they were so aware of the need to train in the winter. So it figures that creating a high quality rowing machine for indoor use would be a great idea. Another great concern was the desire to develop the very best using excellent standards for design and materials. I have the unique view to write about this since I have been using a Concept 2 for about 10 years. This article will review this special and versatile rowing machine for those who are considering buying one to enjoy.
The Concept 2 company manufactures the Model D and E with the latter being more expensive. If you wish to spend less, then the Model D is the model you want to purchase. EveryEvery last rowing machine typically comes with a performance monitor of which there are two types, the PM3 and PM4. The Model D is shipped with a PM3, however you can change that to a PM4 at extra cost. The Model E rowing machine comes with the PM4 monitoring device as standard equipment. The Model E costs about $350 more than the Model D depending on which monitoring device you select.
What is actually helpful during exercising is you can use the performance monitors to watch your pulse while working out. There is an enclosed heart rate sensor that is placed across your chest, and there is a strap that holds it in place. You may think heart rate monitor will be noticeable and be uncomfortable, but that is not the case. Once you go rowing you aren’t even going to notice that it is there. There are no wires either because the information is sent out to the performance monitor.
The resistance to rowing is done by utilizing an intelligently designed flywheel that is a good deal like a manual fan. The flywheel is confined in a fittingly designed housing for safety intents. The manner in which you alter the degree of difficulty with rowing is a mechanical, and manual, lever on the flywheel. If you are thinking this is something that will cause noise, then that is not the case because this rowing machine is very quiet. Since the flywheel is very similar to a fan, of course you can pick up a gentle swirling sound. But it is much more silent than any fan because you will not be producing the same amount of RPM’s as a regular fan does. You could put this rower in just about any room and be able to use it without disrupting anyone who is sleeping.
Either performance monitor also gives you the ability you to observe various kinds of data about your rowing in real time. Some of the available rowing metrics include total rowing time, total distance rowed, 500 meter split times and number of rowing strokes per minute. Thus it all comes down to your reasons for using the rower beyond primariy goal to get and stay in shape. This primarily based on whether you are rowing for general fitness, or if you participate in rowing contests and what level you take part in.
